Man! have you seen the news lately? I don’t even want anything to do with it because it’s either crazy or it just doesn’t make sense at all, news should be fresh and they should be reporting the facts.

But what concerns me is where this economy is heading because many small businesses and individuals are confused right now while the stock market is skyrocketing the unemployment is also at all time high and why is that?

Well here’s why in my own opinion, the reason being is because all these big corporations are NOT hiring! They are simply outsourcing somewhere else where it is cheap.

You see in business if you have employees the payroll is always the highest expense: for example if you have one employee that’s making $100,000/ year then if you let that employee go you automatically save $100,000 pretty simple right?

So with corporations not hiring anyone they’re saving huge so that’s why stock market is “High” yet the unemployment continues to go through the roof. Guys this should be a wakeup call for all of us that you can’t rely on the government as far running the show and also realize that there’s no such thing as job security anymore.

I know having a business is NOT for everybody but for those that have been wanting to start your own business this is the perfect time. There’s more people that have become millionaires during tough times and history has proven it because new ideas and innovations set in.

So in order to survive in this tough time you need start a small business and be creative because right now this is what you can do that you have full control over. Now I’m not saying mortgage your house and open a full blown shop in downtown.

What I’m saying is for example if you just get laid off and your really an expert in the plumbing area and you can do all kinds of projects like fixing a leaky faucet, replace a toilet, troubleshooting, ect.

Then what you can do at this very moment is to offer your services to your local area and use the wordpress blog as a platform to build your audience and attract your market.

You can blog about your expertise and give your audience tips that they can use around the house that they can do themselves but offer your service on bigger projects. This is just an example to give you the general idea but this applies to any service that you want to offer.

I know I keep telling you to start blogging or if you have a business you need to have a blog, Yeah! I probably sound like a broken record or scratched CD right! But I have my reason for blogging.

I’ve always tried to think 10 step ahead when it comes to business and I actually study and observe people that are very successful that are actually doing it so when I tell you to start blogging it’s because I know that if other people have become successful at it you can too.

You see it’s NOT the blog it’s what it can do for your business. A blog is just a blog if you don’t put it to work, but it can be such a powerful tool for your business to really connect with your direct market and that is the name of the game in todays business if you don’t do this YOU will NOT survive, period!

That’s why even some of these millionaires, billionaire and icons are NOW! blogging too. Here are just a few to prove my point.

I’m sure you recognized a few of these folks if not you must be living under a rock. Anyways some of these folks are Millionaires and Billionaires and yet they’re blogging because they understand that it is a “must” in today’s business in order to survive.

So guys I’ve ONLY told you to start blogging like a gazillion times because I want you to do the same and you can’t go wrong. Well there you have it and NO more excuses, just do it man!.

I hope this will serve as inspiration to you and I also hope that you take that bold action and just freakin do it! Quit messing around :) LOL! If you have something to say well speak up and comment below. Take care and love you guys.

  • Great advice Albert.

    I hang my hat on your “words of wisdom” when it comes to blogging.

    That’s why I am looking forward to the New Year, because that is when you’ll start building my professional blog.

    A lot of people probably don’t know part of your business is building a Professional Blogging Package that can’t be beat.

    We’ll be talking again soon.

  • Hey Albert,

    I forgot to thank you for showing Mark’s blog.

    I didn’t know where is blog is. I’ve been a rabid Maverick fan since they started in 1980.

    Here’s a trivia question for you and your readers.

    Who was the Mav’s very first draft choice?

    I’ll give away a Lifetime Membership to my membership site: http://Blogs4Traffic.com to the first person that gets it right before 10 PM, Central Time on December 10, 2009.

    I hope you don’t mind this Albert.

  • It’s completely fine Neil :)

  • Hey Albert.

    Another great post about the power of blogging using some great examples!

    And don’t worry about sounding like a broken record player or scratched DVD……sometimes it takes hearing the same thing over and over before we FINALLY get it :-) .

    Thanks Albert!

    Blessings – Duane
